jeez.....the snake owner wasn't too smart in stopping off to do some shopping while transporting that snake....needed to get to point a from point b right away to avoid something like this. gives us snake owners a bad name. the genius (much sarcasm there) that stole the snake just might show up soon....at a hospital or dead!!!!

is this for real because u would think this would be a big news thing and I haven't heard anything about this...........

I really expected to hear something about it today, but there is no update. And when you click on Wavy Tv's home page, it doesn't even mention it. So they are either keeping it quiet for some reason, or they found out it was a hoax... last night they said the local hospital, Walter Reed Memorial, did not have the appropriate anti venom, the closest was in Florida. But that's the very last I heard about it. Even if it was a hoax, I'd think they'd bring charges against who did it for wasting the police's time, right?

Thus stuff does really happen. When I was working as a consultant herpetologist for the authorities I had to deal with many 'exotic' venomous species. One time I had an unlabelled cardboard box left on my doorstep.... When I opened it I found three Urutus (Bothrops alternatus) inside, luckily they were cold and very sluggish.
